[RS1974]

I'm not if it because of Winter or what I've been feeling. Not wanting to shower,do laundry or clean.Anyone else?

Have a nice day 😊

RS1974! You are definitely not alone. I'm right there with you! The sun is out, I keep telling myself to get dressed, go for a walk, do my therapy homework, etc. in bed, not dressed, etc. Sigh... I need a cattle prod or something. Have a new med at the pharmacy I need to get and am procrastinating out of fear.. have a positive health choices class at 6:30 and I'm already talking myself out of going. Why do I resist doing that which might actually help me feel better? Good grief. Sorry! I was trying to provide a supportive reply that turned into a rant about me! Sheesh!

It's ok to rant. I don't know how to get motivated.Enjoy your class

That happens to all of us. My psychiatrist’s mantra is you have to force yourself to do something or go out if you have to. The only excuse is a valid physical illness. Or not having access to transportation. Otherwise, you have to do it. I hate him. 😂 Sometimes I’m truly severely exhausted and I’ll stay home. But I consider that to a real physical “illness.”

EsmeLu,

Thank you for your response. I definitely need to take your psychiatrists advice, like you did, and force myself to get up, do something, go out. , etc. I've set the bar so low lately that I'm not holding myself accountable to accimplish anything! And, it not okay, and it's not serving me at all!! Take care!!!

ugh , I’m getting things done but I’m with ya . I absolutely loathe winter and I live in ga which generally isn’t bad but we’ve had a lot of cold gray days and it disrupts my groove and makes me way more

Melancholy .

[RS1974 in reply to Ellelou1]

I with you I loathe winter too. Yes Texas has been cold and gloomy.

[EsmeLu]

it certainly is common in winter. But I live in South Florida by the beach with plenty of sunshine and I feel the same way. In my case it’s my depression. If it’s really bad I’d suggest you speak to your doctor and get some advice. Maybe some temporary medicine or an increase can help.

[RS1974 in reply to EsmeLu]

Thank you 😊 Luckily I have an appt Monday.

[EsmeLu]

Excellent news. I hope you find relief.

[RS1974 in reply to EsmeLu]

I think it's our natural reaction to the time of year. This too will pass.
